I’m just a boy from Arkansas. It pleases me to no end that Phoneless Sales Machine will be taught in German speaking countries! I’ve sold my stuff to over 78+ different countries over the last 20 years…much due to licensing mojo. It’s never cost me a penny out of my pocket. The recurring royalties and reach is more than I could’ve ever imagined. If you’ve got something that changes lives in some way, large or small, and want to impact the world, but don’t have a huge advertising budget… 👉 Package up your brilliance. 👉 Find a licensee and let them rent it for royalties. (Where do you find them? TIP: My German licensee is a customer. Your past customers are the easiest deals to make.) 👉 Don’t do an exclusive agreement until you’ve got a few deals under your belt. Non-exclusive is super safe. 👉 Base your royalty percentage off how much help and support you want/need to give them to get rolling. I only do deals where I don’t need to do much support at all…so I usually do deals between 10% to 25% of gross sales. 👉 Repeat until rich and you’re known all over the world 😆 Thank you for letting me celebrate with you!

It wasn't a trout!!!!! DAMMMMMMIT!!!! That's my reaction after fighting a giant fish I think is a brown trout. Only to find out it was a sucker fish! That's how it was with a recent coffee date. Actually...we didn't even get on Zoom. I wasn't going to take this guy on as a partner, but (my focus is elsewhere) Figured he might be a good hand off for the right Ronin. But he refused to share his numbers. "Why do you want to know how many sales I have for my coaching?" My reply... "Sorry dude, I must have watched too many episodes of Shark Tank. They always ask for the numbers right up front. I figured if some billionaires are asking for that, maybe I should?" Needless to say, I let that sucker fish go.

I asked A.I. to write me a simple playbook based off the New Money from Old Courses training and other posts in the group… … for use to structure my first licensing deal, even if I'm a complete beginner and don't have my own IP to rent out. Here’s that Playbook: (complete with examples, how-to’s and Travis-style tips included) *** Reader beware - there’s more hyperlinked reference posts in here than a new car dealership full of wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men *** ==== Step 1. Find IP to License (or Distribution to Control) - Look for "trash can assets" - old/current courses or content creators aren't actively using (or in the same way you want to use it) - Example: Travis licensed a webinar recording in just 8 lines over Facebook Messenger - How-to: Reach out to past customers or subscribers: "Hey, I noticed you created [product]. Are you still actively selling it? I might have some ideas to breathe new life into it." - Check the Welcome Start Here post comments. Lot of IP owners introducing themselves there! Travis-style tip: "Don't be afraid to start small! Even a single email template or sales letter can be licensed and turn into a steady income stream. Remember, you could license an email for $1,000 that might bring in royalties for years!" [Want more Loot? LICENSING not WRITING is the answer...] Travis-style distribution-first approach: "If you're starting from scratch, consider finding someone with an audience first. Approach influencers or businesses in your niche and ask if they're open to collaborations. Once you have a 'yes', you can then go find the perfect product to match their audience's needs." [Newbie question comments]

I've got a library of video content going back to 2014. One of the things I'm excitedly focused on is using AI to repurpose the content into books, courses, membership programs and so much MORE! I am blown away by what Claude AI, Perplexity, and POE AI can create that I can monetize with the licensing model. 👍There are endless licensing money machines to build using A.I. 👀I believe MARRYING AI and Licensing gives birth to the most stress-free income babies ever born! If you don't have content of your own? There are heaps of coaches, consultants, content creators, experts, and business owners with a fortune in IP just "sitting under their mattresses." ...without the know-how or time to monetize it. How interested would you be in me talking more about AI and royalty payments? 🖕1= I'd rather spend a weekend at my mother-in-law's than use AI to earn royalties. 👍10= I'd spend a weekend with my mother-in-law to learn more! (or somewhere in between? LOL) Sound off 👇 Thanks in advance! Rooting For Ya, Travis

This is a TRUE STORY. It's how Joy Mangano, the queen of cleaning mopped her way to fame and fortune! 🧹The Mop That Changed Everything Once upon a time, in the land of Long Island, there lived a divorced mom named Joy Mangano. Joy was just trying to keep her head above water, juggling three kids and working as an airline reservations manager. Little did she know, she was about to invent something that would make her life a whole lot easier - and a whole lot richer! 🧹The Lightbulb Moment One day, while cleaning up yet another mess (kids, am I right?), Joy had an idea brighter than a freshly polished floor. She thought, "Why do I have to wring out this mop with my hands? There's gotta be a better way!" And just like that, the Miracle Mop was born. Joy's Miracle Mop wasn't just any old mop. Oh no, this bad boy could clean itself! It was like the superhero of the cleaning world, with its fancy self-wringing system and detachable mop head. 🧹The Rocky Road to Success But here's where our story gets as messy as a kid's bedroom. Joy believed in her mop so much that she invested her life savings - $100,000 - to make 1,000 Miracle Mops. That's a lot of moolah for a single mom! At first, things were tougher than getting gum out of carpet. Joy sold her mops at trade shows and in parking lots, sometimes only selling a handful a day. It was like trying to sell ice to penguins! 🧹The Big Break Just when Joy's dreams seemed to be going down the drain, opportunity knocked. QVC, the TV shopping channel, agreed to feature the Miracle Mop. But there was a twist—the host couldn't seem to make the mop, well, miraculous. Joy, showing more guts than a lion tamer, called QVC and said, "Let me sell it!" They agreed, and faster than you can say, "Clean up on aisle five," Joy was on TV, demonstrating her mop like a cleaning ninja. 🧹The Mop Goes Viral (1990s Style) Now... ... this is where things get wild. In her first QVC appearance, Joy sold over 18,000 Miracle Mops in less than 30 minutes!
